At first glance you could be mistaken for thinking this was a funky house compilation but don’t be put off by the ‘fashionable’ pretty couple on the cover because this CD includes some of the best broken-soul cuts of recent times. It kicks off in fine style with Mark De Clive-Lowe’s ‘Heaven’ featuring Bembe Segue before moving into the killer Math Union Remix of ‘Juice’ from Season featuring Ernesto, the Brooklyn Remix of ‘Brothers On The Slide’ by Patchworks Ginger X Press and Champion Soul’s ‘Holdin’ On’ (Spymusic Remix). Other worthy inclusions are ‘Disney’ from Channel Two featuring Kim Hill and DJ Spinna’s Vocal Mix of Roy Ayers’ ‘Holiday’ but my favourites are ‘Be The One’ by L’Aroye featuring Humphrey, the U-Key Disco Mix of Doob’s ‘Princess’ and ‘You Say’ by Moodorama, which are all new to me. So the moral of the story is never judge a book by its cover!
